"The Double-Edged Helix" explores the impact of recent genetic
discoveries on both different population segments and society as a
whole. The authors address the medical and ethical implications of
the new technologies, outlining potential positive and negative
effects of genetic research on minorities, individuals with
disabilities, and those of diverse sexual orientations. Presenting
a wide array of perspectives, this book emphasizes the need to
ensure that research into genetics research does not result in
discrimination against people on the basis of their DNA.
